We have included below the police video of Port Arthur events which was used as a police training tool
For the first time since the April 29, 1996 Port Arthur massacre of 35 innocent adults and children we have obtained a copy of then Liberal Prime Minister John Howard’s letter of July 2, 1996 to the families of the victims.
In the letter Howard offers condolences to 31 next of kin and to 18 of those injured, yet almost gloats how he would disarm Australia.

wrote to families of shooting victims
describing how he would disarm
Australia
Just eight weeks after the tragedy and having participated in numerous funerals it is hard to imagine the families of mourning victims being too worried about Australia “sliding towards and American-style gun culture,” as Howard wrote, going on to summarise the gun control measures federal and state governments would take.
It would seem for these families that closing the gate after the horse has bolted is somewhat disingenuous and certainly was not going to do anything to bring their loved ones back.
It is notable that Howard refers to “dangerous firearms.”
The tragedy led to the biggest political shakeup on gun control in the country’s history and generated a storm of controversy, outrage and debate that has continued unabated to this day.

Now 29 years after the event many Australians are asking more questions about a proven psychological operation developed to help disarm the country than they did in its immediate aftermath.
Cairns News has published extensive files and a video we produced around six years ago examining the many flaws in the government narrative and how a mentally incapacitated Martin Bryant with an acknowledged IQ of 66 was able to plan and carry out the ever moving, complicated plot to shoot so many people when a gunsmith testified Bryant was so unfamiliar with the Colt AR15 assault rifle, claimed to be used at the Broad Arrow Cafe, he was unable to fit the magazine at the gun shop some time before the shooting.
The kill shot for the police and government narrative was when Channel 7 in 2021 was commissioned to televise a video of the police interview with Bryant, trying to take the heat out of the failing cover story which proved to be a fatal error.
Witness statements about the long haired male who was randomly firing at people in a car park said he was a right- handed shooter when the Channel 7 video of the police interview with Bryant revealed he was a left-handed shooter.
All documentation and files have been locked up from public scrutiny for a further 75 years confirming authorities have much to hide as John Howard. Pauline Hanson was briefed extensively about the Port Arthur operation more than 20 years ago by her party members but was mercilessly cut down by legacy media and Liberal politicians when she suggested the massacre was a planned, operational exercise.
The first letter in the file below is a covering letter from the Prime Minister’s Department describing the correspondence Howard has to sign and then provides a list of the victims’ names and addresses. – contributed

I’ve researched the False Flag at Arthur Massacre for over15 years & had the first group on FB. I now run another group on FB ‘Port Arthur Tasmania: The Truth’.
Innocent & intellectually disabled Martin Bryant who was set up for the False Flag has now spent 29 years in Risdon Prison
The evidence has been locked away for 75 years to deceive the people after removing their firearms & the video confirming this has since been removed from YouTube.
The public, since I started my research has gradually come around to knowing the truth of what really happened on Sunday April 28, 1996 & the numbers are growing daily.

Editor said… “Pat if they were carting drugs into Australia Borderforce should be taking similar action. ”
Yeah? Why not then let the executioners be a law unto themselves, especially when they’re executing orders from The Elected One? That’s what we ‘elect’ our flavor of the month cult leaders for, right… Bush, Obama, Biden, Trump, etc…. ? The authorities and their enforcers could then have carte blanche to summarily dispatch to Kingdom Come whoever they want, however they want, whenever they want and for whatever reason they want. The ‘law’ is an ass so there’s little point in permitting the law to shelter any designated ‘assoles’, right? Just stick a label on them and they’re as good as dead. (Incidentally, did you note the additional inconvenience of quite separately, and deliberately, shooting two of the survivors of the ‘drug’ boat explosion as they clung to the boat wreckage? No doubt a summary act of justice and human decency, right?)
Letting the government disarm law-abiding Australians seems like something a free people might come to regret.
No, In Australia the fishermen would probably throw the drugs overboard with the children.
@ Lex, regarding Howard, I agree with you up to a point.
It’s obvious that Howard never wrote the letters to the people effected by the Port Arthur shootings.
From the C.N. article Howard doc…….,
“Issue
Letter for your signature to all the next of kin of those killed at Port Arthur and to those injured.”
Recommendation
That you sign the attached letters.

Pat if they were carting drugs into Australia Borderforce should be taking similar action. No excuse for drugs and we have run numerous stories about drug smuggling for example the PNG cocaine bust. We have exposed the dirty deal between Trump and Albanese with our superannuation fund. We think AUKUS is another swindle but not according to Donald. He has some explaining to do in some quarters. We are very careful not to mix up Democrat media reports with the truth Ed

Commenter from Vic
Tough choice between the devil and the deep blue sea but anyway I cut Mein Trumpf a bit of slack, for one he owes Rotschilds, they bailed him out of Atlantic City and probably keep his accounts, then he has to soft pedal on Zion because of all the vested interests but also to wrangle it off England which has first claim to it. Getting England out of the US should be a priority for our would-be Washington mk2.
For two he can’t go head-on into BigPharma or he might get a red paintball in the neck next, you know those things can be deadly. Besides it’s a major industry sector, keeping the bottom 50% drugged up and also a handy false flag to go into Venezuela and get their “bananas”.
For three, Personally I think an ICBM into Basel would speed things up a bit but what would I know. It probably takes some time and politics to cut US ties with the same banksters who own you. Election 2028 is surely going to be big.
Ps I see Joe Biden staggered out to present some insignificant award at FIFA was it ? FIFA is in Zurich, Mein Trumpf got a medal too but not from Joe and not in Zurich, it was in DC. The WZO was in Basel, the BIS was founded 1930, they beat off the IMF (US interloper) after ww2, the WZO checked into Jerusalem 1955. The fake joos prefer Swissyland probably because they are Swissys from Geneva to start with. Maybe hatched from eggs in the ancient temple of Apollo. They would not sit back in Zion waiting to be hit by a drone.

Except they’re NOT “Demoncrats” as you so reflexively and stylistically put it, both are champions of the American PEOPLE with a history of non-partisan IMPARTIALITY to the corrupt baby-eating political vermin.

Editor Cairns News’ glib comment here says much more about cultish loyalty to an imaginary Hero figure than any serious consideration of reality or objectivity.
Deliberate murder of helpless INNOCENTS shipwrecked and injured and clinging onto boat wreckage in the water – which those Venezuelan fishermen were and are, just BTW, without any EVIDENCE or PROSECUTION or CONVICTION for any “crime” – is an unambiguous black-and-white WAR CRIME according to the globally legitimised Law of War, all standards of International Law and – Heaven’s to Betsy! – even American Law itself!
Premeditated cold-blooded murder, executed by the Chain of Command all the way from Commander in Chief Trump’s appointed subordinates right down to the hired blood-soaked butchers at the front lines of the mighty American rampaging military behemoth.
Never mind that arbitrarily summarily targeting and blowing up random little fishing boats on the high seas in international waters with neither evidence nor any provocation whatsoever is in itself another litany of war crimes by the American Empire, that “Indispensable Nation”, but after nearly a CENTURY of this unfettered industrial-scale international gangsterism across every ocean and continent on Earth, why stop now?
Perhaps Editor Cairns News might review and consider THAT “script”, because it’s the bleeding obvious down-home irrefutable unavoidable TRUTH.

Bit like the ABC old mate we don’t believe anything they say. Editor
Aussies deserved to be disarmed, they voted for it. They didn’t fight hard for their gun rights. So I now laugh when Aussies get screwed over in home invasions by “new Australians” armed with unregistered firearms and machetes.
Aussies = bovine.
Until things get worse, change is not possiboe.
“but an L1A1 SLR” – Bryant owned an AR-10 in .308, not the SLR. However, the conspirators tried to implicate gunsmith Terry Hill as the provider of the AR-10 and had Bryant (under the firearm license of ‘Ryan’) got the Hill’s gun shop with the AR-10 complaining of a mechanical problem. When Bryant laid the AR-10 on the counter, Hill removed the magazine revealing it was loaded. Hill then worked the action and ejected a live round from the chamber. Hill then confiscated the firearm and told Bryant he would have to get an order from the police to release it. Hill then logged the firearm into his records, which was 34 days before the massacre.
The conspirators then had a problem as they wanted to ban semi-automatic center-fire rifles. SO, they found a SLR to substitute for the massacre. Big problem, all the Australian SLRs that had been sold into the community were registered. No problem for the conspirators, they had access to armories of unregistered firearms to use in their covert actions. So they picked one up that wasn’t registered. That proved to be a mistake as the SLR they got was a METRIC threaded SLR from Europe and wasn’t an IMPERIAL threaded SLR from Australia.
This is a professional hit sports fans did you notice the majority were head shots
Bryant from the available information on him would not have been capable of executing such a plan, also at the end of the video the firearm on the computer was not an M16 but an L1A1 SLR this smacks of a massive coverup and a lie so huge that it would implicate a lot of people still alive to day hence the 75 year seal on the file
“Nice pair of Demoncrats there Pat I could have written their script. Ed”🤦♂️
Why do their political interests / affiliations matter so much to you so much Ed?
Did you watch the interview to the end and LISTEN to the appalling, undeniable truth they were discussing?
“when the Channel 7 video of the police interview with Bryant revealed he was a left-handed shooter.” – That video also demonstrated something quite extraordinary, the ‘interview’ took place over days if not weeks! It also firmly put to bed the lie that the video equipment had failed and only an audio tape was left.
Bryant is in a wheelchair in some clips, a chair in others, the background keeps changing, the angle of the camera changes, the people who are interviewing him changes – it appears they were setting up the location and camera each day they interviewed him.
Initially, when the written interview was published, Andrew Macgregor and Stewart Beatty noticed ‘gaps; in the written interview. They assumed that sections if not pages were taken out. Once Channel 7 ran their program the cat was out of the bag, the video was a ‘cut and splice’ of days worth of questioning.
Considering the length of time that Bryant was questioned, the full length interviews, over days, would likely have much information that the government wouldn’t like to see the light of day.

Top stuff Pat.
Just a shame that most of his devoted but delusional fans here at CN won’t even dare to watch that interview.
Hey folks,
Riddle me this – but only in a rhetorical metaphorical sense, of course, just chewing the fat so to speak, because we’re all so completely enamoured and committed to being all nice and civilised and legal-like in everything we do, after all – so here’s the academic question that even Voldemort wouldn’t dare in a thousand years to articulate…
Here it is, folks, are you READY?
How come they get to kill US, but we don’t get to kill THEM?

I got to see the ORIGINAL POLICE EYES ONLY video which had a VERY good scan of the killer’s tray with the Solo can and the planted ‘blue bag’ of incriminating evidence. This video has eliminated that pan of the table and the tray with a dead person directly behind it.
This video only has a short, quick scan of that tray from a different angle. That tray contains the fingerprints, and DNA from saliva, sweat, skin and possibly hair from the killer. – The forensic analysis of the tray did not show that Bryant ate from that tray as they started doing a strapped-up ‘witness statement’ of survivors some 2-6 weeks after that massacre. They had a problem with the existence of that tray.
In fact, shortly after the massacre one of the newspapers showed a picture of the alleged tray in a PRISTINE cafe’. We all realized it was a photo-shopped picture and we wondered why it was in the paper. Only years later, when we got the Police Eyes Only video did we realize that the tray had been preserved. The photo in the papers was a ‘red herring’ to divert any attention away from the possibility that the actual tray was preserved. – “Oh, you only remember that picture in the newspaper”
Rebecca McKenna’s witness statement, who was eating at the same table of the killer, indicated that the killer was NOT wearing gloves. Her statement was RE-WRITTEN to state that she saw the tray tip out of the killer’s hand as he entered the Cafe’. She wrote in the margin, “I did not see it fall, I only saw it tip.” – They were trying to get rid of that tray.
Wake up people, your own government not only wants to kill you with ‘safe and effective’ vaccines, but is willing to kill you just like those people laying in the Cafe’ in order to achieve its’ objectives. Take a look at those people that were massacred, YOUR GOVERNMENT DID THAT!
If CN was running the fake news ABC-TV then Mr Rope and Mr Lamp-post really might come to town, but instead the fake news cover-ups continue and some of them even pre-emptive block&flood manoeuvers. The ABC-TV protects all the mafias and crimes of officialdom by parroting the same-old same-old day in day out. They reinforce the big lies and deride everything else. They get a few token victims on with nothing much to say in order to block the stories of the rest of the victims so their paymasters can push on with the UN and WEF programs they are so desperate to introduce, to turn useless eaters into fertilizer and everyone else into brainwashed hand-to-mouth existence slaves. But the gangsters at ABC-TV will never change and the only “strange fruit” dangling from ropes that we will ever see is from the underclasses, twas ever thus, scum on top, dregs on the bottom.
It is obvious that there was a gunman or gunmen apart from Martin Bryant, who may or may not have fired a shot. Much as I have concerns about most of our current government policies and about some of the Howard government policies, I do not agree with bitter attacks on PM John Howard. He had no knowledge of firearms (like I do, having been in the school cadet corps – I am know 75 years old). He was merely a mediocre suburban solicitor, who, like most other PMs and Premiers, was entirely surrounded by and limited by the sycophantic bureaucrats and advisers around him, SOME of whom would have known what really happened. It is possible that he did not, and still does not, understand what happened. Many years ago I spoke to Wendy Scurr on the telephone. I live in northern NSW, and she in Tasmania was the first person at Port Arthur to call 000.
John Howard should be put before a firing squad for what he did in murdering those 35 people and blaming it on a less than normally sensible youth who could not have possibly performed that action.
They New World Order of which he is part, want everyone dead or useless so they can takeover the world as a communist police state.
He is guilty of so many crimes and especially for his endless lies to the public.
